Exchange 2010 Replay folder and .bad emails

I am continuing to get this event... I checked the .bad emails and they are coming to ledgit emails... I just dont know why I get 40 to 50 a day in the replay folder and they never leave or sent
ID=9010 Source=MSExchangeTransport Type=Error LogFile=application Message=At lease one file in C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\TransportRoles\Replay cannot be processed. These files have .bad extensions. Please look for .bad files, and make sure that the content is valid.

This is generally indicative of a bad header in an e-mail. Can you attach a sample of one, scrubbed as you deem appropriate?

OK I can see why it would be a bad header but why wont it clean up the folder? I have some that are from a month prior...

Yes. The Message-ID header is malformed.

OK so it is simply a bad email... Now should exchange clean the old ones out?

Michael B. Smith

That is not a feature in Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010.

So Just check it and delete the .bad files?

Michael B. Smith

Well, as I said before, each badmail creation should also cause an event log error that provides you with a little bit of information as to why the email was marked bad.

If you get more than a few of them - you probably should investigate why they are being generated.

But yes, in general, just delete the *.bad files.
